I stepped away to find out more about myself which I was having difficulty doing as a football player. I got a chance to travel the world. I studied Eastern philosophy and I've grown as a person so much.

I'm not just a doormat. I'm not just being stepped on all over the place. If you look at the bulk of my material it's about trying to find some strength through that.

The best quality about Kobe Bryant? You want me to be honest? I don't know. I'll tell you why. I open my arms to everybody. But he never stepped forward for the embrace. So I never really got to know him. I don't know anything about him and it's kinda sad.

I've stepped more into my womanhood I'm a mother now I'm having a beautiful relationship as a wife and as a friend.

So I just had to step up how I was doing it and the moment that I stepped up and the moment I focused all my energy on that is when things started to happen. So there's a direct relationship between my inspiration and my output.

In fact because of this deep desire for peace the ruling class leaders of this land from 1945 on stepped up the hysteria and propaganda to drive into American minds the false notion that danger threatened them from the East.

The reason I started writing movies was because I kept getting parts that I just kind of stepped into. I didn't have to do a lot of work and I ended up getting sort of bored.

When I woke up Sunday morning at the Open and stepped outside and felt the wind and rain in my face I knew I had an excellent chance to win if I just took my time and trusted myself.

I heard the Beatles and the Stones and Mom bought me an electric guitar. I played lead for four years and then switched to bass. One day someone suggested that I should sing so I sheepishly stepped up to the microphone and the rest is rock history.

Before I met my husband I'd never fallen in love. I'd stepped in it a few times.

I really believe I've been a good person. Not perfect - forget about perfect - but just learning by what I was taught and living by my own values. I might have stepped on a few ants - and a few other things as well - but I've never hurt anybody.

When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.

I always felt like my future was at stake every time I stepped on stage and that was kind of hair-raising. At some point I just went don't be frightened you can't do anything wrong it's your show.

I stepped out on faith to follow my lifelong dream of being an author. I made real sacrifices and took big risks. But living it seems to me is largely about risk.

I have stepped off the relationship scene to come to terms with myself. I have spent most of my adult life being 'someone's girlfriend' and now I am happy being single.

While I had often said that I wanted to die in bed what I really meant was that in my old age I wanted to be stepped on by an elephant while making love.
